Those who find two-handed gaming too taxing, and would prefer a free hand for Hot-Pocket or Mountain Dew consumption, can now rejoice

Eye-tracking technology by Swedish company Tobii makes it possible for computers to know exactly where users are looking on the screen; that way, PC gamers can use their eyes to defeat Zerglings and Dark Templars with greater efficiency and accuracy

A demo, seen in the above video, shows how Tobii controls Starcraft II using the following features: "gaze navigation," "gaze scroll" and "gaze direction." For example, instead of clicking the arrow keys with one hand to navigate the map while controlling units with the other, Tobii allows users to scroll with their eyes. Read more...

If Joss Whedon is king of the nerds, then Steven Moffat is fandom’s evil overlord. He may not be a household name in the U.S. (yet), but in the world of Tumblr, things are a little different.

And both are helmed by Steven Moffat. Read more...

It can be tough to keep up with all the new apps released every week. But you're in luck — Mashable takes care of that for you, creating a roundup each weekend of our favorite 7 apps that are new or updated.

The gaming world is about to profoundly change, thanks to the Unreal 4 game engine. Epic Games showcased the advanced gaming platform, which can be used to develop nearly photorealistic games, at the Game Developers Conference 2013 (GDC 2013)

In this technology demonstration, you can plainly see the Unreal 4 game engine is up to the task of rendering all kinds of reflections, a multitude of particles and enough lens flares to impress Star Trek and Star Wars director JJ Abrams. And the kicker? It does all this number-crunching in real time.

One of the goals of this new engine is to bring gaming graphics up to the same level as the latest powerful graphics cards, such as Nvidia's GTX line. From the looks of this video, it's clearly up to the task. Read more...

Once upon a Time Lord, this guy from the planet Gallifrey stole a blue box. It took him, rather randomly, everywhere in time and space. He found some friends and a lot more monsters, and sometimes got killed. He's about 1,000 years old and has had to change his entire body 11 times — not a bad batting average

There — that's all the backstory you need to dive in to the storied sci-fi legend that is Doctor Who, returning Saturday night on BBC America. And at 50 years old, the show has never been more sprightly, quirky or up-to-the-minute

Case in point: Tonight's episode, "The Bells of St. John's," delivers another original techno-thriller plot (what if you joined a mysterious Wi-Fi network and had your consciousness sucked out of you?), a creepy villain (the Spoonheads — they're scarier than they sound) and a new mode of transport (motorbike, with the Doctor and his new pal Clara kitted out like the dorkiest kind of '60s Mods) Read more...

Die-hard Whovians have been looking forward to the season 7 part 2 premiere of Doctor Who since December

But let's assume that you've never heard of a time-traveling alien in a blue telephone booth and have no idea what TARDIS stands for. You don't fear the Daleks, and couldn't care less about Cybermen. That's OK! The Doctor has been around since 1963, and he's always looking for new companions

"Classic" Doctor Who started in the '60s and ended in 1996.

Engineers at Virginia Tech have created a five-and-a-half-foot jellyfish robot that could one day be used for ocean surveillance

Dubbed "Cyro," the robot has eight robotic arms, and its skeleton is wrapped in a silicon covering similar to the soft exterior of a jellyfish. Weighing 170 pounds, Cyro was modeled after an earlier prototype nicknamed RoboJelly, which was about the size of a human hand.

Cyro has a battery pack that allows it to swim for up to four hours, however researchers hope to extend this time to weeks or even months.

Part of a $5 million U.S. Navy-funded project, Cyro may one day be used for aquatic naval operations. But if the Navy passes on the jellyfish, engineers say environmental groups could also use the Cyro for underwater research and ocean conservation Read more...

A new patent application from Apple hints at an iPhone with a flexible, wraparound display.

For example, two people could watch a videos or view photos on both sides in a continuous loop. This same type of design could also be applied to Apple's rumored iWatch

According to Patently Apple, which first uncovered the patent filing, this design doesn't include physical buttons. Instead, the buttons will be virtual, meaning you could simply wave your hand over the display to adjust the audio, for example Read more...

There are all kinds of rabbits that are symbolic around Easter time. Children wait for the Easter bunny, and maybe even sing the old 1950 Easter song "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." Cadbury works magic, making a small white rabbit cluck out caramel eggs

On the evening of March 19, Zastrow had plugged in her Nexus S phone for the night and laid it down on her end table, the alarm set, before turning in on the couch. She had moved to the couch from her bed because she had just adopted two cats, and they had decided to turn the bedroom into their nocturnal playground.

About two hours later, Zastrow was jarred awake by a loud crack. She could smell something burning.

She sat up and saw a small fire on the floor, just inches from where her head was moments earlier. The flames were already about a foot high. Read more...
